Terracotta Horses, a photo from Shaanxi, Central

Photographer's Note

I don't expect this image to win any awards, due to sharpness issues, but tripods are banned, at the pit site, & this is a handheld, zoom shot. I've uploaded it, as there are so few images of it on TE. Perhaps this is even the first one of the horses?

Hi Chris
I think it's worthwhile as we never have the chance to see things like this. And the capture itself is not bad at all

Hi Chris,
it is the POV and this group of five making them interesting. Good texture and for my perception a good handheld one with the zoom, that is the additional challenge. But sorry, not the first horses from here, I found some older. One of them seems to be this group from a different POV.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Chris,

Funny and interesting:) Seems these horses were surpriced with something to have such look on their faces:D

Despite the quality is not perfect - its really nice shot!

Hi Chris, I like to see these ceramic horses in Xian, and hope to visit later this year. As mentioned in your note, it is not technically perfect but still conveys the message well. TFS. Murray.
